About this concert
Irish singer-songwriter Niall McCabe brings his distinctive blend of contemporary folk and traditional Irish influences to The Cluny 2 as part of his UK tour this spring. Raised on Clare Island off the west coast of Mayo, McCabe’s music is shaped by the rhythm of island life and a deep connection to place, memory, and story. His songs explore themes of love, loss and belonging, delivered with a voice that’s at once soulful, tender and commanding.
Following his acclaimed debut album Rituals (2023), McCabe returns with new material ahead of the release of his second album this May. This tour comes on the heels of a standout run with the 2025 Transatlantic Sessions tour and a milestone performance at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville—bringing his music to international stages while staying rooted in the traditions that shaped him.
Expect an intimate, powerful live show from one of Ireland’s most compelling emerging voices.
